Grummz’s Colt Python .357 Magnum
Grummz recently acquired this never-fired Colt Python. Absolutely beautiful, and challenging to photograph due to its highly-chromed finish. I didn’t have any lights, so we just went outside into the California sun and plopped it on a placemat on top of a cooler, and tried to find an angle where it looks OK. This was the best we could do…I’m not too happy, but next time we’ll set up a better lighting rig.
I was scared to touch the damn thing…what if I scratched it? Yikes.
I told him he should get a “beater Python” so we could go shoot one. Sort of like when you buy a first edition collectable comic book. Buy two: one to read, one to store.
